Zhu Yushi thought that he could return to Chang'an to reunite with his brothers, so he couldn't wait to go down the mountain that night. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he first had to go to Luoyang to inquire about Zhu Zhirui's news, and it would be great if he was lucky enough to rescue Zhu Zhirui. He performed light skills all the way, and when he arrived in Luoyang, before dawn, he slept in the grass beside the road for an hour.

Luoyang morning market is very lively, can drink a bowl of hot haggis soup in the cold morning for Luoyang residents is quite enjoyable, and then on the fritters and flatbread, around the greasy small table, sit on low chairs, roll up the cuffs, and unfamiliar diners bragging has been the tradition of the local people, they always eat dry first, and then drink thin, especially when there is only soup left, they will hold the big bowl with both hands and drink it in one breath, suddenly feel warm and refreshed, and will make a long "ah" sound when drinking.

The sound of selling on the street, the noise is endless, its liveliness is not inferior to noon and night, smelling the thick aroma of mutton soup wafting in the face, listening to the sound of frying fritters and sugar cakes when the oil is "stabbing and stinging", Zhu Yushi suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, and was about to eat a lot, when he suddenly saw two familiar backs sitting in front of the stall next door, just looking at their sitting posture and bearing, he knew that he was not a mortal, one of them immediately gave birth to an induction, looked back at him, and was overjoyed when he saw his appearance, it turned out that the person was Lu Fei who had not been seen for a long time. The other person also turned his head, it was Cai Lianhua.

Neither of them recognized Zhu Yushi after wearing the mask, but they also saw that the other party was a master, so they nodded to him, saying hello, not wanting to cause more trouble, and then seeing Zhu Yushi coming head-on, the two immediately became vigilant, not daring to show people with their backs, and stood up to face him at the same time. Zhu Yushi stepped forward and said, "Hall Master Lu, Brother Cai, it's me." Lu Feihu heard his voice for a while, and said excitedly: "Xiao Zhu?" Zhu Yushi saw that no one was paying attention around, so he quickly took off his mask and said, "It's me, why did you come to Luoyang." The eyes of the two lit up, and they excitedly held Zhu Yushi's hand, and the joy was beyond words, Zhu Yushi's heart was moved, although they were separated for a short time, he really missed everyone.

The three of them sat around a secluded corner, after Zhu Yushi asked for a bowl of haggis soup, Lu Fei said: "You came to Luoyang to find Zhu Zhirui?" Zhu Yushi nodded, and told the story of the mountain, Lu Feihu listened with bright eyes, and said: "It turns out that you have been undercover in the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is really difficult for you, no wonder the castle owner does not dare to reveal your identity." What you just said about Lei Zhen's cooperation is extremely important, if he really wants to help, maybe we can really take Luoyang without blood, this matter needs to be known to the castle lord as soon as possible. He turned to Cai Lianhua and said, "You go back and report the news first, Xiao Zhu and I tried to rescue my younger siblings." ”

Cai Lianhua said: "I'll also stay and help, it's not a problem to make a move." Lu Fei said: "Reporting is only one of them, I asked you to go back to move the rescuers, although we know the whereabouts of our younger siblings, but after rescuing people, we also need everyone to come to respond." Zhu Yushi was surprised and delighted: "Do you know where she is?" Lu Fei said: "Yes, I'll tell you what happened later." Cai Lianhua said: "I'll go back to Chang'an to report the news, it will take a day at the earliest, don't be in a hurry to do it first, just keep an eye on your younger siblings, and wait for our master to arrive." Lu Fei said: "We will adapt to the situation, you should be careful on the road." Cai Lianhua said to the two, "Take care." "Get up and go.

Lu Fei only then talked about what had happened, it turned out that as soon as he returned to Tongguan, he learned that a ferry boat was coming from the other side, and he thought that maybe Zhu Zhirui was on the boat, and hurriedly took Du Shu and Cai Lianhua to the dock. Before the ferry reached the center of the river, a team of Qi cavalry ran from the opposite bank, shouting on the shore to let the ferry return, and at the same time took a small boat to chase the boat. Lu Feiyun looked at the boat with all his eyes, and sure enough, among the many passengers, he saw a beautiful woman like a fairy, looking at both sides of the strait with an uneasy expression, and an ugly young man beside him was nervously looking at the chasing ship behind. Lu Fei immediately ordered the release of two small boats, and Cai Lianhua personally boarded the boat to greet him. The boatman on the ferry did not dare to disobey the orders of the Qi soldiers, so they had to turn around, Lu Fei and Cai Lianhua rowed desperately and failed to catch up, and the soldiers on the small boat of the Qi State boarded the boat first, and the thirty Jin soldiers led by Kong Yanzhou and Cao Cheng found Zhu Zhirui from the crowd, took the dinghy, and killed Tong Zijian with a knife in hand.

In front of the surging Yellow River, although it was a hundred feet away from the steamer, Lu Feigan was in a hurry and had no choice, so he could only watch Zhu Zhirui being taken away by Qi Bing, and the two simply did not reveal their purpose, pretending to be a boatman and rowing in other directions, without attracting the attention of the three generals. As soon as Zhu Zhirui went ashore, he was coerced into a small green sedan chair, and went to Luoyang under the escort of hundreds of Qi soldiers, next to the sedan chair there was a son who rode a white horse, it was Liu Lin, the prince of Qi State, he was overjoyed after getting Zhu Zhirui, but he didn't find that Lu Fei and Cai Lianhua also quietly landed on the shore and followed them from afar.

The two followed Qi Bing to Luoyang and watched as Lu Xiaojiao was carried into the Luoyang Palace. Lu Fei sneaked into the palace at night to investigate. The State of Qi did not have the ability to repair the entire palace, but it renovated the Shangyang Palace, which is famous for its beautiful women, which shows the ambition of Liu Yu, the king of Qi.

Now that Liu Yu has returned to the capital city of Bianliang, Shangyang Palace has become Liu Lin's dormitory, and the palace is closely guarded outside the palace, with Kong Yanzhou and Cao Cheng in charge, Lu Fei did not dare to get too close, but concluded that Zhu Zhirui was in Shangyang Palace. After he left the palace, he discussed the rescue plan with Cai Lianhua, and the two planned to enter the palace again tonight to investigate, but they didn't expect to meet Zhu Yushi at breakfast.

Zhu Yushi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Let's go to Shangyang Palace tonight to find out." Lu Fei nodded and agreed: "In addition to Kong Yanzhou and Cao Cheng, there is another person worth noting among the masters of Shangyang Palace, I saw him walk out of the palace with two beautiful palace maids last night, I only glanced at him and didn't dare to look at it again, his bearing and demeanor must be an unfathomable master." After Zhu Yushi asked about the person's appearance and figure, he gasped and said, "It's the Slaughtering King, this time it's troublesome, I didn't expect him to take refuge in the Qi Kingdom." ”

Lu Fei had already known about this person from Zhu Yushi's narration, and frowned: "If you fight alone, I'm afraid that you can't defeat this person, and if he protects Liu Lin, our actions tonight will be even more dangerous." Zhu Yushi said firmly: "Whether there is him or not, I will go tonight." Lu Fei smiled and said, "Okay! I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." ”

Zhu Yushi dispelled the idea of going to meet Cao Zhou's two brothers, afraid that it would affect them, he and Lu Fei rested in a small inn until late at night, when they left the inn, the bright moon was in the sky, the sky was full of stars, every household had fallen asleep, it was difficult to see people on the street, and the two of them came to the palace with light skills.

Luoyang Imperial Palace is called Ziwei Palace in the Sui Dynasty, Tang Taizong changed its name to Luoyang Palace, Wu Zetian was renamed Taichu Palace, with the comprehensive eastward movement of Tang Dynasty politics and economy, Taichu Palace also continues to expand and repair, the scale is large, gorgeous and magnificent, now abandoned and deserted because of disrepair, but the city wall is still towering and thick, the moat canal that leads the Luo River around the city is also perennial flowing, there are palaces, Taiwan, 35 pavilions in the palace city, the halls confront each other, the buildings stand in a forest, the main hall has the Vientiane Temple, Zhenguan Palace, Luocheng Palace, Wucheng Palace, Eternal Life Palace, Jixian Palace, Yaoguang Palace, Lichun Terrace, Tongxin Pavilion, Dengchun Pavilion and so on, most of them sit in the north and face south, high and low to see each other, unfolded along the central axis, in an orderly and staggered manner.

Taichu Palace almost occupied the entire northern city of Luoyang, and the defenders of the city were scattered loosely, and the two of them easily swam across the moat, and then borrowed ropes to climb over the city wall. With the light of the stars and the moon, Zhu Yushi glanced at the huge palace immersed in darkness, the palace was full of forests, the cornices and corners rose and fell, and the vast extended to the boundless darkness, and the breeze blew slowly, as if sighing for the former glory of this imperial city. Zhu Yushi exclaimed: "This imperial city is really big!" Lu Fei said: "It's bigger inside, come on." Then lead the way.

Shangyang Palace is located in the southwest corner of the imperial city, in addition to the embroidery carving, beautiful and luxurious building, the palace leads the valley, Luo Ershui clear canal lingers, three sides are surrounded by water, bamboo and wood are green, along the winding corridor of the shore of Luoshui can be viewed by the railing, only to see the lotus lamp floating, the moonlight condensing lake, its scenery is beautiful, the palace is magnificent, it can be described as extreme.

The two of them hid in the bamboo forest and looked at the brilliant Shangyang Palace from afar, and they both thought that this palace alone had such a scene, and they didn't know how prosperous the Taichu Palace should be in the Tang Dynasty. They were most concerned about the guards of Shangyang Palace, and after observing it, there were three thousand soldiers guarding the palace, and there were eight sentries patrolling in a circle, no matter which direction they came from, and they didn't know the situation in the palace. Zhu Yushi knew that Zhu Zhirui was in the palace, but he couldn't see each other, and he was anxious. Lu Fei said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's still early at night, let's wait and see." Zhu Yushi said: "They have eight teams of sentinels, each team of eight people, after turning the southeast corner there is a short blind spot, as long as we are fast enough, we can kill the eight before the next wave of sentries arrives, and then drag them to the forest, change into their soldiers' clothes, maybe we can sneak into the temple."
