"Your Majesty, it's night, it's time to rest." In the palace, Yang Rang, the permanent servant, looked at Liu Xie who was still looking at the bamboo slips and said in a low voice.
"Everything is fine. I have recently discovered that reading the teachings of the sages is very beneficial to my cultivation. I have recently felt that my visualization skills have become quite advanced. Rang Weng, can you read?" Liu Xie put down the bamboo slips and looked at Yang Rang.
smiled.
"I know something about this," Yang Rang said truthfully.
"Then read more about this knowledge. It will be good for you." Liu Xie stretched his waist. Yang Rang had been with him when he was in Chang'an. He had gone through Dong Zhuo, Li Guo, Cao Cao and now Chu Nan.
After Cao Cao entered Xuchang, he placed many chess pieces in the palace. Many eunuchs were Chu Nan's spies. Only Yang Rang had no interaction with Chu Nan. This was also the reason why Liu Xie made him his servant. Although Chu Nan
An informant was arranged in the palace, but it still gave Liu Xie some face. Chu Nan never interfered with promotions and dismissals in the palace.
"I'm so stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn." Yang Rang hunched over, shook his head and chuckled, "I'm just responsible for serving your majesty."
"If you are really capable, why not let me make you a general?" Liu Xie sighed. Although Yang Rang was loyal, he was just a eunuch and could not be used for much.
"Your Majesty is joking, there is no eunuch to lead the army." Yang Rang said quickly.
"As long as you can be used by me, your background is no longer important!" Liu Xieyou said sadly: "What a pity~"
What's the pity? Liu Xie didn't say anything, and Yang Rang didn't ask, he just stood aside quietly.
At this moment, a Huangmen came from outside the palace gate. He did not come in, but only let Liu Xie and Yang Rang see him.
Yang Rang glanced at Liu Xie and saw that Liu Xie had no expression. He immediately walked to the door of the palace and asked what was going on. After a while, Yang Rang came back and bowed to Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, Captain Changshui Zhongji wishes to see you.
"
"Go and take him to Dexin Palace." Liu Xie nodded, gave instructions, stood up and left with his jade seal.
Dexin Hall is where Liu Xie rests in the front palace on weekdays. When Liu Xie is there, eunuchs and maids are not allowed to approach. Yang Rang understood what this meant, nodded immediately, went to the side door of the palace, and found Zhong Ji.
Finally, avoiding everyone, he brought Zhongji to Dexin Hall.
"Chen Zhongji, please see your Majesty!" Zhongji bowed quickly after seeing Liu Xie.
Liu Xie nodded and looked at Yang Rang.
Yang Rang immediately resigned and left the Dexin Hall, closing the door for the two of them.
The emperor and his ministers stayed in Dexin Palace for nearly an hour. What they talked about was not asked by Yang Rang. After the collection came out, he sent the collection outside the palace gate, then turned back and saluted Liu Xie:
"Your Majesty, General Zhong has been sent away."
"Okay!" Liu Xie nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go and rest."
"Here!" Yang Rang bowed and exited the palace.
…
"His Majesty met with Zhongji secretly and discussed it for an hour in Dexin Hall?" Man Chong from the Criminal Department frowned lightly as he looked at the writing on the white silk in his hand.
"Your Majesty, do you want to capture that kind of collection?" the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment said solemnly.
Different from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment is almost all officials selected by Chen Gong, and they are basically from Chu Nan's faction. The Ministry of Punishment usually does a lot of punishing officials, so all the officials in the Ministry of Punishment have some of them.
Somewhat violent.
"No, don't alert others, just keep an eye on this person secretly." Man Chong shook his head, spread out a bamboo slip filled with names, and wrote Zhongji's name on it.
But what puzzles Man Chong is that the military power of Xuchang is in the hands of Wei Xu. If these people want to succeed, they must have military power, otherwise it will be nothing more than a joke. As Lu Bu's brother-in-law and Mrs. Chu Nan's uncle, Wei Xu not only
He holds military power and is a truly powerful figure among the forces in Chunan. If he wants to shake the Xuchang army, Wei Xu must pass this test. Otherwise, even if they secretly gather their own troops, it will be difficult to compete with the Xuchang defenders.
.
There are not many defenders in Xuchang, but they are all elites who have followed Lu Bu for many years. Wei Xu is not an incompetent general. If someone really comes to invade, a Wei Xu, even if his military strength is two or three times that of Wei Xu, will not have the corresponding generals to guard Wei Xu.
There was also a mob in front of me.
It's not that they don't have generals, but it's hard to find generals or commanders like Wei Xu now. Man Chong thought for a while and said, "Send a few more people to Xun's house to monitor Xun Yu's every move at all times, no matter who he meets."
, everyone must report to me immediately, including their family members!”
Man Chong thought about the celebrities in Luoyang today, and it seems that only Xun Yu has this ability. Although Xun Yu has been living in seclusion in Xuchang since Cao Cao's death, Man Chong knows his ability. If he takes action, not to mention Wei Xu, Chu Nan
Most of the generals under his command have little chance of winning.
but……
Will Xun Yu take action?
Man Chong's mood was a bit complicated. As former colleagues, although the two had not interacted much, Man Chong admired Xun Yu and really didn't want this former colleague to end up in trouble.
"Here!" Zuo Shilang agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
"Your Majesty, have you informed General Wei Xu about this?" the right servant looked at Man Chong and asked.
The most important thing about this matter is Wei Xu. As the person who holds the garrison of Xuchang, he cannot make any mistakes here, otherwise if Wei Xu is in any danger, it will have a great impact on Xuchang.
"I will go to the General's Mansion to inform Madam about this matter. Let Madam do the talking." Man Chong shook his head. He had no friendship with Wei Xu. If it was just like this, he would just tell Madam directly. However, because of Song Bin's incident, Man Chong and Wei Xu
Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian were in a stalemate. He went to Wei Xu directly. Not only was it useless, but he was also likely to be ridiculed. It was better to go directly to Lu Lingqi and let Lu Lingqi take care of the matter.
After arranging some affairs, Man Chong got up and went to Lu Mansion. Since Chu Nan and others went on the expedition, Lu Lingqi took Zhen Mi and a pair of children and moved to Lu Bu's General Mansion for convenience, so that she could accompany her mother.
Secondly, before Chu Nan left, he had already said that something would happen in Xuchang. If the two families were separated, and something happened, protecting them together would undoubtedly weaken the troops. Thirdly, Lu Lingqi and Zhen Mi had little parenting experience, so they needed to be strict.
The mother-in-law hired by the government sometimes felt uneasy when she came to help take care of the children.
Man Chong came to meet, and Lu Lingqi met Man Chong on behalf of the two families. She was not very good at this kind of thing, so she should leave it to her daughter.
In the hall, Lu Lingqi was sitting on her knees at the main seat, with the Qiao sisters behind her. After listening to Man Chong explain the matter, Lu Lingqi nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."
"Then I'll take my leave!" Man Chong didn't stay long, bowed to Lu Lingqi, and then left.
"Go and ask your uncle to come over and tell me that I have something important to discuss with you!" Lu Lingqi called Lu Yi over and said to her.
"Here~" Lu Yi agreed and walked away quickly.
"What do you think those people would do if they really wanted to harm my uncle?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"Killing is not just done with swords, poison can also be used." Qiao Ying knelt down and poured a cup of hot water for Lu Lingqi and said: "The general was pregnant at the time and did not exterminate the demon with us. This demon extermination is not bad.
No matter how powerful the demon is, it can at least be seen, but the human heart is sinister, but it cannot be seen. Sometimes the knife may be hidden in the hands of someone close to him, and what's more terrible is that the person close to him may not be able to see it.
Know."
The two sisters were originally ordered to set up a demon-suppressing agency. They traveled to many places along the way and saw many evil people's hearts.
"This matter is actually something you are most familiar with. As far as we know, you were poisoned and assassinated no less than a thousand times!" Xiaoqiao said with a smile.
The assassination of Chu Nan by the scholars basically followed Chu Nan's footsteps. Wherever he went, the assassination followed, from the earliest Xiapi, all the way to Guangling, and then to Jianghuai, Taishan, and Xuchang. Speaking of Chu Nan's power
Among them, who has the most experience in this area is undoubtedly Chu Nan.
However, as Chu Nan's power has become stronger and more stable in the past two years, there have been a lot fewer assassinations, but it's not none, it's just more secretive.
A flash of longing flashed across Lu Lingqi's cold and beautiful cheeks. It had been half a year since Chu Nan went on the expedition.
"Don't talk about these things anymore, go and bring Ah Huang." Lu Lingqi looked towards Xiaoqiao Road.
"Yeah." Qiao Shu agreed and turned around to bring Ah Huang. This dog understands human speech and is not afraid of animals. He is often taken advantage of by the Qiao sisters.
"Ah Huang, during this period, you need to protect someone." Seeing Ah Huang, Lu Lingqi's cold face softened a bit. Ever since she was pregnant with the child, Ah Huang has been guarding her every step of the way, and her feelings are natural.
Very good.
"Oh~" Ah Huang lowered his head and rubbed Lu Lingqi's hand, expressing reluctance.
"The matter is urgent. Xiaohei and Huahua are afraid of life, so I'm not too relieved." Lu Lingqi naturally didn't want to leave, but with Ah Huang by her uncle's side, Lu Lingqi felt that many problems could be avoided.
"Woo~" Ah Huang nodded in despair and lay down at Lu Lingqi's feet.
"General, do you really want to give Ah Huang away?" Qiao Shu reluctantly hugged Ah Huang's head.
"I'm just going to my uncle's for a while. Ah Huang won't give it away." Lu Lingqi stroked Ah Huang's furry head soothingly.
After a while, Wei Xu came over, saw Lu Lingqi, sat down with a smile and said, "Lingqi, why are you looking for me?"
Lu Lingqi looked at Wei Xu and said: "Recently, news came from the palace that Your Majesty seems to have a secret conspiracy with the court officials. My uncle is a very important person in Xuchang. Lingqi is worried that someone will do harm to my uncle."
"Hmph!" Wei Yue heard this and sneered: "If you're not afraid of him coming, you're afraid they won't come. Don't worry, Lingqi. You have been fighting with your brother for half your life. What scene have you never seen before?"
"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. It's always better to be careful." Lu Lingqi asked Lu Yi to get some things, touched Ah Huang's head and said, "How about Ah Huang staying with my uncle during this time?"
"Are you willing to give it to me!?" Wei Xu's eyes lit up. He had been coveting Chu Nan's dog for a long time.
Ah Huang, who was originally walking towards Wei Xu, turned around and retreated directly to Lu Lingqi.
"I'm just borrowing my uncle's money temporarily to protect my uncle." Lu Lingqi said displeased.
"A few days will be fine!" Wei Xu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Lingqi, I will definitely treat her well!"
Lu Lingqi patted Ah Huang on the head, and Ah Huang reluctantly came to Wei Xu's feet. Lu Yi came in with a tray. Lu Lingqi signaled, and Lu Yi brought the tray to Wei Xu.
"What is this?" Wei Xu asked confused.
"The Fire Silkworm Soft Armor is made from the Fire Silkworm silk cultivated by my husband personally. It is also mixed with spider silk. It is extremely tough and invulnerable. My uncle wore it on his body for safety," Lu Lingqi said.
"This is too careful. Those little guys can hurt me before they hurt me." Wei Yue greedily touched the girl's soft armor like skin.
"If uncle doesn't want it..." Lu Lingqi tried to take it back.
"You are the lord's wife, how can you go back on your word? If Ah Huang doesn't give it to me, forget it, but this is not possible!" Wei Xu quickly put away his soft armor and said, "I'll take Ah Huang for a stroll first~"
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Lingqi's reaction, Ah Huang directly used Fengzi Secret and ran away...
