The wars in the north were caused by the Xianbei tribe. They had strong troops and abundant food and grass, but the food prices were higher. Both of these items originated from Chang'an.

Lu Zhaoyi was meticulous. She was wondering, what kind of problems did Chang'an encounter that led to all this and a series of events?

She folded the letter and put it on her waist.

All of this is speculation. She will no longer worry. No matter what the truth is, the person who can arrange this big game must be careful and should not be underestimated.

If she wants to investigate the truth clearly, she must go to Chang'an in person.

Thinking of this, my thoughts were pulled back and my eyes were once again staring at the inconspicuous bag of tips.

She reached out and slowly untied it. Inside was a small note. Looking at the font, it was vigorous and powerful. You could tell at a glance that it was the handwriting of the fifth Langya that she was familiar with.

The profit is not at Tianmen, and you will not look back until you cross the river. You will look north at Chang'an City, and once you fall into rivers.

After reading this letter, she smiled slightly at the corner of her lips, and she felt inexplicably happy.

"Fifth, fifth, you really want to go with me."

She couldn't help but lifted the curtain and called the Shadow Guard of the Imperial Vehicle to speed up his return home.

Fifth, Langya pointed out some tricks between Jingzhao and Beijingzhou in the letter. Most of these things are due to interests. If Jingzhao is to be affected, it will inevitably cause earth-shaking changes in the entire Beijingzhou.

I have to say that such meticulous deployment once made Lu Zhaoyi wonder whether there was a huge gentry hidden behind this.

But this is just her inference. She still needs to have a deeper understanding of Jingzhao to judge the authenticity.

If such a force really exists, there shouldn't be any trouble. The emperor's attention to this matter has exceeded anything, and they cannot be so calm.

Unless, this force disdains to join forces with any of the gentry, or, he has higher goals.

This goal may be the same as hers at the time.

She couldn't help but think that she had been assassinated many times at the beginning, and a group of masked men in black, whether in Luojing, Junqiu County, or in Jiangzuo, obviously had received strict training. Whose people are these people?

She put down the curtain again, closed her eyes and started to sleep.

The carriage was galloping on the road, but her heart gradually calmed down. Everything was planned and we still needed to start around Jingzhao County.

"Qian Niang."

The carriage was parked outside the Minister's Mansion. As soon as Lu Zhaoyi got off the carriage, the sound of the shadow guard suddenly sounded, causing her to instantly pull back to reality from her messy thoughts.

She was stunned for a moment, and with a "hmm", she saw Huazhi running out of the mansion, showing a panic look on her face, "Just just got the news, Qi Niang and Gouchen Villa were besieged by men in black."

"What?" Lu Zhaoyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and for a moment, there was an unspeakable shock and incredible feeling, "Are there any casualties?"

Flower branches shake their heads.

While walking into the mansion, he said to Huazhi beside him, "It has been four months since I arrived in Luojing. The villa has never been attacked for so long. Why did he suddenly encounter siege at such a critical moment?"

As soon as these words came out, the shadow guard next to him couldn't help frowning, "Isn't this like he was coming to Qi Niang, it seemed to be intentional?"

"That's right!" Lu Zhaoyi paused, turned her head and said calmly, "If you really want to kill me, why did you choose to kill me during the day? It's the most convenient way to kill people at night, right?"

The shadow guard was stunned and could not say a word.

Huazhi's brain was the fastest, and she immediately slapped her head, "I understand what Qi Niang meant. It must be those people who used this to make a big fuss and wanted Qi Niang to retreat..."

"It's not just that." Lu Zhaoyi took over the conversation, "I guess it's also a test of whether I'm Gou Chenzi... Someone in the court has already suspected me."

"Do you want to transfer the Qingzhou army into Beijing?" The shadow guard from the side asked in a deep voice.

Transfer troops to Beijing?

She smiled, "Doing this will embarrass Your Majesty. If you go to Anping today, it is not advisable to raise troops. This matter needs to be resolved in the court."

As she said that, she remembered something again and ordered, "Let Yingyun take Yingyu and the shadow guards stationed in the other courtyards first withdraw from Fangchiyuan outside the city, and then spread the news of the military advisor from Luojing. "

"In this way, wouldn't it make outsiders think that the military advisor was afraid and then he would withdraw from Luojing?" Huazhi sneered disapprovingly, "Qianniang, you aren't really afraid, are you?"

She raised her hand and stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and a cold flashed in her eyes.

She, Lu Zhaoyi, has never been a timid person or a fearful person. As for why she made such an arrangement, she also considered her difficulties in the court.

After this, it is difficult for her to hide the identity of Gou Chenzi.

Since it cannot be avoided, she can only find a way to delay it slowly.

As she thought about it, she went to the front hall herself. After walking a few steps, she turned back and asked, "Where is the news from Yingfeng?"

Today she was so anxious to come back, but she still wanted to see the news that Yingfeng brought back.

After reading the letter, I finally understood what happened in Jingzhao County.

Then she thought, she took out the tip from her cuff, burned the note written by the fifth Langya, put someone on the pen and ink paper again, and wrote on the paper:

The wind and rain did not arrive, and the map of Chang'an was seen. The Luo Master did not know that Mingfei returned to Si Pass.

After writing, he put in a gift bag and sent the things to the Taiwei Mansion.

Seeing that the sender had left, Huazhi looked puzzled, "Qi Niang, what do you mean..."

"At the beginning, we were wrong. There was no change in Chang'an City. Everything was as usual. Only in this way did it happen. There was no news in Yongzhou that came to Luojing. They dared to send people to make trouble in Sili." Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were deep and her tone was firm.

"Huazhi, go to Fengmanlou and Qinyu Pavilion to send a message, so that the people from the branches and branches of the Tianxia Alliance and Piaoxue Tower will enter Guanzhong, pay attention to the movements around the two counties in Huaili and Gaoling. If anything is strange, report it to me immediately. Remember, don't be alerted, otherwise, once the enemy catches the handle, you will get into trouble."

Huazhi nodded and said yes.

Huaili is the county town of Fufeng County, and Gaoling is the county town of Fengyi County. These two places are very close to Chang'an City and are both places where the gentry of Guanzhong are gathering. Her arrangement is to launch a comprehensive investigation and counterattack against the gentry of Guanzhong.

No matter what, the situation in the DPRK has undergone earth-shaking changes. She does not want some troubles to happen during the period when the new DPRK was first established.

After Huazhi left, Lu Zhaoyi returned to the main room alone, sat on the chair, concentrating and thinking for a while, then picked up the teapot on the table and filled herself with tea.

She picked up the cup and took a sip. Her eyes were slightly brighter, and a hint of warmth surged in her heart.

"Qian Niang..."

A familiar voice came from outside the door. Lu Zhaoyi turned her head and looked at the door, and saw a man in a red robe walking slowly in.

"Why are you here?" She stood up and greeted her.

The person who came was elegant and elegant, with unique dignity and elegance in his every move, as if the nobleness that emerged from his bones showed his warmth.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and seemed to be joking, "Can anyone come in, my minister's mansion? His descended yesterday. I'll change you today. Have you agreed on it? King Han?"

This person is Xia Sheng.

He pursed his lips and smiled, "It was your deputy master of Zuo Qin Hall who brought Sheng in, but Sheng didn't break in private."

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, she smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, you're here, it's okay, so I won't be thinking about it alone."

As she said that, she invited him into the hall and poured two cups of tea by herself.

Xia Sheng held the teacup, but did not drink it, but asked, "How did you talk to Qiu Quzi? Have you figured it out?"

"Yes, I figured it out." She chuckled and took a sip of tea. "Now, the matter in Yongzhou has been cleared up some clues. The key point at present, Wu Pass in Luo, is to unlock all this."

She said, looking at Xia Sheng with bright eyes, "With the New Year approaching, there is not much turmoil inside and outside the court. We can establish a covenant first and wait for the beginning of the New Year.

I went to Jingzhao and there was no chance again."

"Are you going to Jingzhao?" Xia Sheng was stunned when he heard this.

Lu Zhaoyi shook her head, "Let's wait for the next year! As soon as the first month passes, I will find an opportunity to ask Your Majesty for your appointment."

"Well." Xia Sheng nodded, "There is three months left before the end of the year. We still have time to plan. But you must pay attention to your own safety. Today, Gouchen Villa was attacked, and I am worried about you..."

"Don't worry about me. I know what I know..."

Xia Sheng nodded, "If you have anything, send someone to notify me and I will help you."

"Yes." Lu Zhaoyi responded, but a warm current surged in her heart.

The two of them had only known each other for two or three months, and their friendship had already begun. However, because she had always regarded him as a friend, she did not want him and was in danger because of herself.

But since he asked so, how could she refuse?

After all, there is no danger in this Luojing city, it is just those people making trouble.

Seeing her like this, he sighed slightly, "There is no need to say such polite words between you and me."

She smiled and said without comment, "I have already claimed to be sick to Wei Dan these days. I will not go to the morning court in a few days. I want to let go of the affairs in the court for the time being."

"What are your plans?"

"It's true..." Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly, and a hint of determination was dyed between her eyebrows. "But you don't need to know for the time being. After the frost falls, I will return to the court. Then you will know."

"Okay." Xia Sheng agreed.

The two of them chatted for a while before he got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he suddenly stopped, "It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble during this period."

"I have my own sense of responsibility." She chuckled.

Just after seeing Xia Sheng off, a figure came out of the hidden place outside the door and approached her gently. It was not until the woman appeared beside Lu Zhaoyi that she could see her appearance clearly.
