What about myself? In this whirlpool of politics in the Zhou Dynasty, who do I think I am?
The river flowed rapidly under the feet, and on both sides of the Yangtze River, there were mountains and green mountains. The speeding boat unknowingly passed through the mountain peaks and entered a wide body of water.
I, oh, I should still be outside of it.
Looking at the suddenly clear river in front of him, Lu Heng smiled faintly and gently shook his folding fan, his eyes calm and distant.
The destruction of Liu Mansion and Su Mansion was inevitable. In fact, more than half of the reasons why they ended up like this were due to their own mistakes.
There were two roads ahead, and they chose the road of no return.
During the whole process, I just placed a bait that was irresistible on one of the roads, and then set a larger trap under the bait.
Unfortunately, they chose this path together and both fell into it.
Moreover, as the number of participants increased, more and more people fell into the trap. However, it later developed into a battle between two major classes, which Lu Heng did not expect.
I had only a vague feeling like this before, but at that time, I was based on the principle that it didn't concern myself, so I didn't narrow the trap.
I never thought that things would actually develop to this point.
Hey, actually, this is really none of my business.
The scenery on both sides of the strait is picturesque. The sunlight shines on the river, just like a layer of gold spread out in front of you. The refracted sunlight reflects the two handsome young men on the bow like immortals.
Lu Heng shook his feather fan gently, with an innocent smile on his face. He thought about it for a moment, then thought about it again, and finally said to himself for sure that he really didn't care about my business.
On the side, Bai Suyan glanced at the scholar beside her, who was smiling calmly, and couldn't help but feel a little wary of this person.
From the words I heard in the mist before to the news sent back by the elders in Tokyo a few days ago, everything is going according to this person's expectations.
This person is really sinister and vicious.
You have to be careful and don't let him scheme against you!
The big ship sailed down the river, rarely stopping along the way.
Three days later, the big ship arrived at Jiangning Pier.
After docking, Lu Heng stepped off the deck and stepped on the ground in Jiangning, finally calming down.
Oh, Jiangning is really a place to raise people.
Not only the scenery is pleasant, but also there are many talented people. Even if you stay here for a lifetime, you will not be lonely.
After landing, the two of them ate some food at a food stall next to the pier. Afterwards, Bai Suyan still wanted to go back to the flower boat.
Lu Heng put down his bowl and chopsticks, glanced at her, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that Prince Ning's Mansion will come to trouble you?"
Bai Suyan glanced at him lightly, smiled confidently, stared at Lu Heng, and asked: "I don't think this kind of thing will happen. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
Bai Suyan has such great self-confidence, firstly, because she has repeatedly assassinated people, all of which were carried out after disguising herself. Secondly, the scholar in front of her has a close relationship with Huainan Wang Wuning, but he has the evil intentions of herself.
insanity.
Hey, I really admire myself. I really have the foresight to catch this person. Who will dare to mess with me in Jiangning City in the future? Bai Suyan looked at Lu Heng's depressed look and said to herself smugly.
Seeing the other person raising his head and trying hard to suppress his smile, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel even more depressed. He tilted his head and looked at Bai Suyan and said, "Are you that happy?"
Bai Suyan lowered her head and turned around, with a smile on her face as expected. She was extremely beautiful, especially her eyes, which were breathtakingly beautiful. At this time, in the afternoon sunshine, although she...
"Haha, you still look good when you smile!" Lu Heng took a sip from the tea cup, stared at Bai Suyan with burning eyes, and praised with a smile.
Bai Suyan's smiling face suddenly turned cold. She glanced at Lu Heng indifferently, stood up, said a word, and turned to leave.
"If you don't want to die, remember to come find me on the flower boat on the fifth day of every month!"
Seeing the woman's figure walking away, Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in confusion.
Haha, what a temper! What a handsome girl!
Fortunately, Bai Suyan paid the bill before leaving. Otherwise, Lu Heng might have had his plate taken away.
I stood up and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something very important.
Oops, she doesn’t seem to have said which flower boat it is!
Lu Heng looked at the streets with people coming and going, but he couldn't see the beautiful figure of Bai Suyan, and he was suddenly confused.
When he got home, it was already evening. Lu Heng walked leisurely around the corner. When he was almost home, he saw the courtyard door closed in the distance.
Even the lantern at the entrance of the courtyard was taken off at some point.
Hey! Where are the people?
Lu Heng's heart tightened, and something suddenly occurred to him. His back was soaked with cold sweat.
Yes, against all calculations, he could not have expected that he would be assassinated on the way to Chibi. What he did not expect was that after the assassination, he would be kidnapped, while his sister-in-law Liu Qingqing would return to Jiangning.
Nowadays, the water depth in Jiangning is abnormal, and there is about to be a bloody storm. The people involved are at risk. And I took Liu Qingqing out to play in order to avoid this storm.
However, who would have thought that something like this would happen.
With Liu Yuanyi's vicious heart, he must be resentful towards everyone. Among them, Liu Qingqing and herself are the first to bear the brunt.
Lu Heng's eyes were narrowed, and he was a little distracted for a moment. The cold wind blew, and his whole body was trembling. After regaining consciousness, Lu Heng strode over and reached out to touch the iron lock on the door, feeling gloomy in his heart.
It must be someone from Liu Mansion!
Lu Heng's expression suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying, and the fists hidden in his sleeves clenched instantly.
He took out the jade pendant that Wu Ningyuan had given him before from his arms, turned around, and walked towards Prince Jiang Ningning's Mansion with firm steps.
Now that you've made the move, don't blame me for being cruel!
Hey, scholars are not only capable of making suggestions behind the scenes!
However, just as he walked out of the corner of the street, a familiar strong man appeared in Lu Heng's sight.
Show guard!
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds. Guard Zhan, dressed in rays of sunshine, stood not far in front, looking at Lu Heng with his mouth wide open and a silly smile.
In his hand, he held a chicken and a jar of wine.
In the twilight, Guard Zhan looked at Lu Heng in astonishment, with his mouth wide open and motionless.
"Lu, Mr. Lu?" Zhan Wei's big mouth moved slightly and he called out with difficulty.
In fact, after seeing the guard Zhan, Lu Heng felt as if he had put down a huge boulder and instantly relaxed.
Yes, I was a little anxious just now, and those who were anxious were a little confused.
Even if he is not at home, the old man Wu Ningyuan will definitely take good care of Liu Qingqing for him. At this time, he saw the guard carrying wine and meat, walking towards the end of his yard. He should be guarding here, or should be.
We are preparing to arrest people here.
With the old man Wu Ningyuan's scheming, he would never put Liu Qingqing in danger. From this point of view, Liu Qingqing should be in Prince Ning's Mansion at this time.
Wow, I was really dizzy for a moment.
Lu Heng laughed and scolded himself in his heart for not being calm enough. He raised his head and looked at Guard Zhan with his mouth wide open and a look of astonishment on his face. He smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Haha, Guard Zhan, you haven't seen me for a few days and you don't know me anymore?"
Guard Zhan dropped the things in his hands with a clang, and screamed excitedly, like a whirlwind, and rushed in front of him with a whoosh.
Lu Heng chuckled and stretched out his arms, ready to hug this conscientious and top-notch expert in the palace.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Zhan Guard did when he rushed over was to kneel on the ground with a plop.
"Young Master Lu, I have neglected my duty and put you in danger. I beg you to punish me!" Guard Zhan lowered his head and knelt on the ground, his voice choked with sobs.
Lu Heng was a little overwhelmed by the scene in front of him. After being stunned for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his hand to put on Guard Zhan's strong arm, and sighed: "Brother Zhan, how can you be embarrassed by your behavior like this?"
Ah! Get up quickly!"
Seeing that Guard Zhan was still stubborn and refused to get up, Lu Heng helplessly spread his hands, pointed at the group of people rushing out from behind Guard Zhan, and said, "Don't you want your men to see Zhan Xiong's jokes?"
After hearing this, Guard Zhan glanced back secretly.
I saw that ten meters behind me, there were only a few pedestrians at first, but now there were a lot of people. After careful identification, ten of them were actually my brothers who were following me and were responsible for squatting.
.
At this time, these guys were all looking at me with mean smiles on their faces, especially Hou San, the birdman, who was pointing at me, groping his chin, and making comments with a group of people. That kind of look really made people want to
Go up and stomp on his face.
"Damn, what are you looking at? Are you feeling itchy?" Guard Zhan kicked his eyes and roared with alarming momentum.
With this roar, the dozens of people watching suddenly disappeared with a roar. The originally crowded place suddenly became empty. There was only a kicked over basket, spinning back and forth alone on the ground.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then extended his thumb and praised with a smile: "Guard Zhan, you are so impressive!"
Guard Zhan laughed awkwardly, and after finally standing up, he smiled and said to Lu Heng, "These little bastards are usually spoiled!"
When he raised his head, he saw Lu Heng, who was dressed in a travel-stained look, as if he had returned from a long way away. Guard Zhan, who had wanted to take Lu Heng to dinner, suddenly thought of something very important, and hurriedly held his fingers in his mouth and hit it.
Whistle.
After a sound of horseshoes, two black horses were seen rushing out of the alley where the group of people had been hiding. The two horses snorted and galloped towards here in an unusual way.
When the horses stopped, Guard Zhan held the horse's reins with one hand and Lu Heng with the other, and said eagerly: "I was so happy in the next moment that I almost forgot. The prince has been telling me these days that when I see the young master, I must let him go.
Prince's Mansion! Young Master, hurry up and mount your horse. Your Majesty will be very happy to see you!"
Lu Heng was a little bit dumbfounded by this big man's impatience. However, he still took the reins of the horse.
But when he was about to get on his horse, he turned back and pointed at the closed courtyard door and asked, "Guard Zhan knows where my sister-in-law is?"
Guard Zhan let out a long oh, with a cunning look in his eyes, and winked at Lu Heng. Then he saw that Lu Heng's expression was full of anxiety, and then he put away the dirty thoughts in his heart.
, coughed, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, oh no, your sister-in-law is in the palace now, not Prince Ning's palace, but the palace of Mr. Wang Jianfei. Miss Wang has been chatting with your sister-in-law these past two days. But.
Young Master, you can rest assured that the prince has dispatched hundreds of Jiangning garrison troops to patrol around the palace day and night. There are also dozens of brothers who came out of the army together with the next to protect sister-in-law Qingqing. She is absolutely safe!" Zhan Guards raised his chest.
The shots made a lot of noise, and he looked confident.
