Li Fuyao and Luan Ping were about half an hour apart, and they entered the city one after the other.

The rain continued.

After Li Fuyao, who carried the sword box on his back, entered the city, he went straight to an inconspicuous remote inn to live in, and after closing the door, the young man who broke through the situation in the heavy rain lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Although he was very reluctant to sleep in this state, no matter how he looked at it, it was not easy for him to break through the realm in the heavy rain, and after that, he was mentally challenged to face the unfathomable old man, and now he was really exhausted, so he didn't have time to see what this Huaiyang City in the rain was like, and he didn't have time to think about how to help Da Zhou, so he had to sleep well.

Even Huaiyang City in this rain always has some special taste.

......

......

Luan Ping, who came to the door of Xiangguo's Mansion with an umbrella, did not rush into the door, but rubbed off the mud on the soles of his shoes on the steps at the door, and then stood under the eaves of the door, and the oil-paper umbrella was placed next to the door.

There is no intention of going in.

The porter quickly told Luan Yan about Lord Xiangguo at the door, the young master of Xiangguo's mansion.

Soon, Luan Yan, who came to the door, respectfully saluted Luan, "Father returned to his mansion, why didn't he enter, but stood outside the gate." ”

This sentence Luan Yan said sincerely, even when he shouted the word father, there was no unnecessary fluctuation, this is not that Luan Yan has shouted too many times, so it seems so ordinary and true. On the contrary, it is because in the eyes of this reader, the gentleman in front of him has always been his father in his eyes, so when he called out his father, he was so sincere.

Luan Ping walked a few steps to the side and motioned for Luan Yan to stand over, and only after Luan Yan stood over, Luan Ping said, "What do you think of Luan Jiali?"

This is undoubtedly the biggest thing for the Luan family now, and even for the entire Chen country, according to Luan Ping's previous style of acting, it should be to find a secret room, so that the two of them can let go and talk freely, but now they are standing at the door of Xiangguo's mansion, I don't know how many eyes, Luan Ping asked very calmly.

Luan Yan was stunned, and then he was a little worried.

However, since it was Mr. who asked, Luan Yan quickly responded: "My father's ambitions have always been ambitious, but Chen Guo has reached a bottleneck, and there may be no more variables in the next few decades or even a hundred years, so it is too natural for my father to leave." ”

"But you know, I'll have no problem living another few hundred years. ”

Luan Ping looked at the student in front of him calmly, with a look of encouragement on his face.

Luan Yan hit the nail on the head and said: "But my father is not willing to waste time, in Chen Guo before, although it was from scratch, but it can always make people see the results, but now it is very likely that Chen Guo will not change greatly within a hundred years, so my father is unwilling to wait." ”

"There are a few talented and ambitious children in the royal family of Chen Guo, why can't they support it, Chen Guo has not changed his surname, and I have got what I want, isn't it better?"

Luan Ping is taking the school Luan Yan.

Luan Yan said calmly: "Father will not be like this, whether Chen Guo is like this, whether His Majesty the Emperor is mediocre or not, or whether someone else drew a big cake for his father, but my father will never be like this." ”

Luan Ping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Luan Yan smiled, "Because my father is a scholar." ”

This was a very serious answer, so Luan Ping also thought carefully for a long time before nodding.

Looking up, the rain was almost over.

Luan Yan took the initiative to ask a question, "Father, since you have decided to leave, why can't you set a date now?"

Luan Ping thoughtfully, "Stay and take a look." ”

Luan Yan was puzzled, "Why?

Luan Ping didn't rush to speak, in the years that this Lord Xiangguo of Chen Guo stayed in Huaiyang City of Chen Kingdom, he actually saw a lot of things, and many of the scenery were created by himself, so he knew very well the cause and effect.

But Luan Yan didn't stand somewhere and saw something, maybe he had already tried, but Luan Ping blocked his vision, so he was still very young.

It's not just age.

Luan Ping thought about leaving the country to let Luan Yan take a good look at things he had never seen before, and he really had great expectations for Luan Yan.

Far better than the teacher who taught.

But in fact, in addition to wanting Luan Yan to stay and take a look, Luan Ping also wanted to see what the young man in green shirt was doing in Huaiyang City.

He didn't know the boy's intentions.

Of course, if he was still the same Xiangguo and was willing to plan for Chen Guo, he should know soon.

But now he's not.

He's just an old man who wants to change his door.

So it's a strange feeling, but it's also funny.

He looked at the surroundings where the rain was getting lighter, "Huaiyang City is a capital city, in fact, all the countries in the world are the same as Huaiyang City, those guys are sitting in the same place and doing the same things, so before I leave, I want you to take a good look and see how these people are doing, so that you can have a more intuitive understanding, and many years later, when you stand in my position, you will not feel afraid at all." ”

Luan Yan bowed his head and was speechless.

Luan Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Before entering the city, a young man said to me that before the next happen, he should go farther and farther, I think this sentence is also very suitable for you, if possible, maybe you can meet him, but I guess he is not very willing." ”

Luan Yan smiled bitterly.

Finally, before Luan Ping entered the mansion, he said meaningfully: "Take a good look." ”

In this regard, Luan Yan could only bow his head to indicate that he heard clearly and had remembered.

The heavy rain stopped, and the gate of the Xiangguo Mansion was closed again.

In the alley not far from here, the eyeliner began to fade.

Xiang Guofu's investigation of the outside world will not be angry at all, but the act of closing the door is the posture of Xiang Guofu.

When the door is opened, everything is easy to say, and when the door is closed, everything is closed.

These high-ranking officials and nobles who have been in Huaiyang City for several generations, the princes and nobles naturally know Luan Ping's temper, so the moment they close the door, there are no spies in sight around Xiangguo's Mansion.

In the alley far away from Xiangguo's mansion, there is a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and there is a middle-aged man in a python robe in the carriage.

In the imperial family of Chen State, there are not many people who are qualified to wear python robes, because there are not many brothers of His Majesty the Emperor, and more than half of them died on the eve of his accession to the throne, so that now in Huaiyang City, only two people are qualified to wear python robes.

His Royal Highness King Qi, the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor today, the most beloved prince of the emperor, was known as the prince who was most likely to ascend to the throne before His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, but unfortunately His Royal Highness King Qi did not like political affairs at all since he was a child, and gave up the throne early, not mixed with these things, and before and after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, His Royal Highness the King of Qi was even more shallow, completely like an outsider, so after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne and the throne was stable, he still did not attack His Royal Highness the King of Qi.

His Royal Highness the King of Qi has always adhered to his duty and has never done anything excessive.

In addition to this His Royal Highness King Qi, there is also His Royal Highness King Liang.

He is also the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor.

can be different from His Royal Highness King Qi, this His Royal Highness King Liang was bound to win the throne from the beginning, but his luck was slightly worse, at the most critical moment when the prince seized the throne, this mother concubine of His Royal Highness King Liang was beaten into the cold palace because she angered the emperor, and by the way, she implicated His Royal Highness King Liang.

The first emperor was angry and sent His Royal Highness King Liang to the frontier, but it doesn't matter if he arrived at the frontier, in just ten years, King Liang rose in the army, with his extraordinary talent, he has gained a foothold in the army, and his prestige is even more prosperous, if it were not for the undetermined situation in the city of Huaiyang, maybe His Royal Highness the King of Liang will die in the army, but after the situation in Huaiyang City is stable, the foundation of His Royal Highness King Liang can not be shaken, and many generals in the army with real power are desperate for His Royal Highness King Liang, and when the son ascends the throne, even if King Liang is transferred back to Huaiyang City, he does not dare to do anything。

What's more, now is the time for Chen Guo to attack Zhou, if something happens to King Liang, the military will naturally be unstable.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor didn't dare to act because of the situation, but His Royal Highness King Liang didn't seem to think so.

I don't know how long it took, but someone outside the alley stepped on the stagnant water on the street.

Because he walked very fast, he splashed a lot of stagnant water on his body.

The middle-aged man who looked to be dressed as a scholar, after coming to the carriage, said in a low voice: "There is news from Xiangguo's mansion, saying that Luan Xiangguo's departure from the country is a foregone conclusion, and the boss has already packed up all the things in the mansion, and he will transport all those things out of Huaiyang in the near future." ”

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of King Liang's mouth, "Since Luan Xiangguo is the pillar of the country that he relies on the most, he is willing to let Luan Xiangguo leave the country?"

After the middle-aged scholar heard his title, he buried his head even lower, "The news in the palace is probably the same as that in Xiangguo's mansion, but it is more specific, after Luan Xiangguo left the temple, he recommended a person, who should be an important role in the temple in the future." From this point of view, Luan Xiangguo's departure from the country is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to change. ”

"According to his temperament, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to let Luan Xiangguo leave Huaiyang, do you say that when the time comes, will we help him and let Lao Xiangguo die in Huaiyang, or help a group of Lao Xiangguo and let Luan Xiangguo be used by this king?"

The middle-aged scholar shook his head, "That is Luan Xiangguo!"

It's not loud, but it says a lot.

Because he is Luan Xiangguo, it is not easy to kill, and it is not easy to surrender to anyone.

King Liang is best watched from the wall.

King Liang rubbed his brows, and said with some melancholy: "There are a lot of old guys in the temple, only this king has no way to take Luan Xiangguo, and now that Luan Xiangguo is gone, who can stop this king?"

The middle-aged scholar was puzzled: "His Majesty the Emperor should have a lot of back-hands, except for Luan Xiangguo, there are many more." ”

King Liang sneered: "The whole country has invaded Zhou, all the troops have been sent to the border, what strength does the entire Huaiyang City have except for the Imperial Forest Army? Now the two commanders of the Imperial Forest Army are in the palace of this king, looking at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and when Luan Xiangguo leaves the country, this Huaiyang City will change its master, and this Chen State will also change its master." ”

This is undoubtedly a rebellion, but in King Liang's mouth, it really looks too ordinary.

Coupled with the heavy rain before, it was a bit biting cold.

The middle-aged scholar was silent.

The groom let out a sigh.

King Liang poked his head out and looked at the groom.

Among the children of the royal family of the Chen State, the King of Liang is the most outstanding, there is no doubt about it, this prince who is more suitable for the battlefield than the temple was recalled from the border by His Majesty the Emperor of the Chen State, and has been secretly planning the palace in Huaiyang City all these years, and on the surface, he is raising soldiers.

Many Qingliushi doctors will do it, and they are not bad.

But the soldiers raised by King Liang did not have a literati, and all of them were martial artists.

But who can win the championship in the Liang Wangfu, which has many guests?

There is no doubt that this is the person in front of you.

This old horseman, who can be ranked in the top ten on the rivers and lakes of Chen Guo, is far better than others in Huaiyang City in the realm of martial arts.

After many Chen Guojianghu masters were sent to the border, and then shed blood, the status of this old horseman in the rivers and lakes rose, although it is not that many masters of the rivers and lakes are the only ones who look at him, but in fact, it is not too much.

King Liang wants to start an incident, because of two points.

The Imperial Forest Army is to be all under the command of King Liang.

Many ministers could only be confined to their homes that night, unable to speak.

The former needs the prestige of King Liang in the army, and the latter needs the martial arts cultivation of these masters of the rivers and lakes.

Now these two points, King Liang has almost done an excellent job.

Now he only needs to wait for Luan Xiangguo to leave Huaiyang City.

This old man, who has stood on the temple of Chen State for decades and has seen three generations of Chen State emperors, is really too prestigious, if he comes out to stir up the situation, King Liang will never succeed in this matter.

It's not that I didn't want to kill this old Xiangguo who has stood in the temple of Chen Guo for decades, but Lao Xiangguo seems to be better at raising soldiers, no matter who comes to assassinate him over the years, this old Xiangguo has always been able to be safe and sound, which makes many important ministers in the temple who are hostile to Lao Xiangguo grit their teeth.

During the Chenghua period of that year, there was a household member Wailang who embezzled as much as 200,000 taels of treasury silver to hire Chen Guo's first killer to assassinate Lao Xiangguo.

The reason why the No. 1 killer of Chen Guo has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for 20 years, has taken over countless assassination incidents, and has never missed, the reason is that the killer, in addition to being the No. 1 killer, is also the No. 1 master of Chen Guo's rivers and lakes.

But even if he took action personally, he still died in Xiangguo's mansion.

The first killer of Chen Guo, the body was thrown out of Xiangguo's mansion the next day, and that Luan Xiangguo even went to the court with a smile on his face that day.

How not to be scary.

Therefore, even King Liang was unwilling to provoke Luan Xiangguo easily.

This old man is really a dark cloud pressing on the heads of all the important ministers of the temple.

Now that this dark cloud is finally drifting away from everyone's heads, most people will naturally feel very relaxed.

But from King Liang's point of view, Luan Xiangguo did not get out of Huaiyang for a day, so he could not say that he had a chance to win.

King Liang sighed and muttered in a low voice, "Luan Xiangguo, what are you thinking?"
