Liu Qingqing and Wang Tingzhi? Still chatting happily?
What do they have to talk about?
Lu Heng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He frowned and thought for a while, but still found that there was nothing that they could talk about between them.
It seems that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was some unhappiness between the two women.
How come things have turned out like this after I left for two days?
With this thought in his mind, Guard Zhan beside him was scratching his head and head anxiously.
"Well, Mr. Lu, let's go. The prince is waiting very impatiently!" Guard Zhan looked at the dazed Lu Heng eagerly and asked eagerly.
After Lu Heng came back to his senses, he saw Guard Zhan's anxious look, smiled sheepishly, and patted his forehead: "I just thought of something, but I forgot about it. I'm really sorry, let's go, let's go to Prince Ning's Mansion right now.
!”
The two got on their horses and raised their whips lightly. The black horses, like two black lightning bolts, galloped towards Prince Ning's Mansion in Wuyixiang.
When the sound of horse hooves faded away, the nearby firewood gate was opened.
On weekdays, those neighbors who avoided the Lu family looked at Lu Heng's retreating shadow with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
Why did the young man from the Lu family end up with this high-ranking incense from Prince Ning's mansion? I really don't know what kind of high-ranking incense their ancestors burned.
Along the way, Guard Zhan also told Lu Heng about some of the things that happened in Jiangning in the past two days.
After hearing that the Su family collapsed overnight, and that the family was ruined, and that the Liu family was mysteriously wiped out, although Lu Heng's face remained calm, he was still a little surprised in his heart.
Hey, since ancient times, political struggles have been the most cruel. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces!
From his words, he naturally learned that the imperial edict had not yet arrived in Jiangning. The demise of the Su and Liu families was entirely due to strife within their camp.
This Lord An, hehe, is really not to be underestimated!
And it is estimated that with Mr. An's skills, other members of the Su family may also encounter misfortune.
Lu Heng shook the horse's rein slightly, and in his thoughts, he thought of Su Qianqian, who had been following him a long time ago.
Lu Heng was riding a horse, listening to the guard Zhan talking about these things with a calm expression. Occasionally his eyes flashed, but he always had a smile on his face, as if he would not change color even if the mountain collapsed.
While Zhan Wei was talking, he would occasionally look at Lu Heng's expression. Seeing this man's face not changing, and looking calm and calm, I really admired Mr. Lu for his calm mentality.
"Sir, how did you escape after being kidnapped by assassins that day?" Guard Zhan hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.
Lu Heng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I made a business deal with him, so she let me go!"
"Is it that simple?" Zhan Weiwei blinked and asked in astonishment.
Lu Heng smiled, nodded and said: "It's that simple, haha, drive!"
The whip in his hand was raised, and the horse under him neighed and galloped forward like wind and lightning.
Behind him, Guard Zhan scratched his head, as if he had figured it out, nodded and said to himself: "Well, as expected of a scholar, he is indeed very thoughtful. Doing business with a killer, hey, why didn't I come up with this idea!
It’s so easy! Drive it!”
He smiled, raised his whip, shouted, and chased after him.
Wuyi Lane, Prince Ning’s Mansion
The bamboo forest is swaying and leaves are falling. In the forest, the stream is gurgling, and the birds are singing quietly. The clear stream flows slowly through the small pavilion in the forest. The clear stream reflects the scene of the three people drinking in the pavilion, which is warm and
And peaceful.
Lu Heng, Wu Ningyuan and Hong Quan were sitting in front of a stone table, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was indeed extremely harmonious.
"Yongzheng is going to deal with this matter, do you want me to help you..." Wu Ningyuan took a sip from the wine glass, raised his hand and made a downward slashing motion, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his shrewd eyes, and his face
asked Lu Heng with a smile.
During the conversation just now, the two of them asked about their escape experiences.
They were all good friends, so naturally they had nothing to hide. Lu Heng smiled and told them about the experience of the past two days. However, before his death, he asked the two old men to keep it secret and never mention this matter to Liu Qingqing. In the end, there was something special
He glared at Wu Ningyuan.
Although this old man has a good heart and is always kind-hearted, he is always thinking about becoming an official. Perhaps, since he is in the royal family, he will naturally make plans for his family.
However, the old man's seductions made Lu Heng feel extremely helpless.
Especially last time, when it came to the matter of building defenses, the old guy patted his chest with a stern expression and promised not to tell anyone. What happened, Fatty Hong would know in a few days.
"Such an assassin is too dangerous. It will always be troublesome to keep him!" Hong Quan nodded in agreement with a solemn expression, but kept holding peanuts in one hand and throwing them into his mouth.
"As for the poison on the young master, you can rest assured. I also know some magicians from the Miao area. It's easy to cure the poison!" Hong Quan patted the peanut skin in his hand, raised his head, and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
After saying this, the two of them looked at Lu Heng with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
Lu Heng, however, was drinking tea by himself. He blew a trace of tea leaves on the water and took a sip. He raised his head and saw these two old guys staring at him. He couldn't help but laugh.
"You two, are you busy every day? Why are you looking at me so seriously?" Lu Heng put down the teacup, spread his hands, and smiled helplessly and steadily.
Hearing this, the two old men immediately stared.
"You kid, you don't know the heart of a good person! This is called treating good intentions like a donkey's heart!" Wu Ning glared at Lu Heng angrily and said with a smile.
Hong Quan muttered a few words, and finally just nodded in agreement: "Yes, Prince Ning is right!"
After a quarrel, the three of them stopped mentioning the matter.
Looking at Lu Heng's behavior, it seems that he doesn't want to do anything to this assassin. Since they are all good friends, the three of them are all smart people. If there is something, even if they don't say it, they understand it in their hearts. Seeing Lu Heng
They didn't want to say too much about this matter. Wu Ningyuan and Hong Quan looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and stopped pursuing it.
The three of them chatted for a while. After all, Lu Heng was thinking about Liu Qingqing, and he seemed to be restless. The precious autumn scenery in front of him was no longer pleasant. In the end, he really couldn't stand the two old men's knowing but deliberate behavior.
His gaze wasted time, he clasped his fists helplessly, and left first.
"Yongzheng, are you going to meet the beautiful woman?" Wu Ningyuan stood up disrespectfully, shouted with a loud laugh.
Hearing Wu Ningyuan's words behind him, which really ruined the scenery. Lu Heng almost missed his footing and fell to the ground. He turned his head angrily. He wanted to say something, you old guy, you have a dirty mind. However, he waited and saw.
When Wu Ningyuan stood in the pavilion, with pale hair blowing in the wind and a sincere smile on his face, he felt helpless.
He shook his head with a wry smile and fisted at the two people in the pavilion. Lu Heng then turned and left.
As he walked, he thought of Wu Ningyuan's appearance in the pavilion just now, with his white hair flying, and thought of his old and disrespectful words, and shook his head in a funny way.
Hey, this old man is so cute!
In the pavilion, the fire roared, and a wine cauldron was warming on the stove. The aroma of wine overflowed in the cauldron. The cold wind of late autumn blew by. Around the pavilion, the bamboo curtains rustled. Occasionally, there was a piece of withered yellow.
The bamboo leaves passed through the curtain and landed precariously on the stone table in the pavilion. After shaking slightly for a few times, they stopped moving.
Around the pavilion, warriors in black armor glanced around with cold eyes, guarding the two court elders in the pavilion conscientiously.
"The officialdom in Jiangning is in turmoil now. First, Su Guangyi committed suicide by taking poison, and then Fan Zeng, who was an imperial envoy, was imprisoned. Now, all officials in Jiangning are in danger. Does Mr. Hong know why this happened?" Wu Ningyuan stretched out his finger.
He flicked the fallen leaf off the table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked at Hong Quan with a smile and asked.
As the governor of Jiangning, Hong Quan knew these things. However, when he saw the solemn look on Prince Ning's face, he was startled and knew that there was something fishy about the matter. So he immediately stood up, arranged his clothes, bowed and clasped his fists to face
Wu Ningyuan said: "I don't know, I would like to ask the prince to tell me!"
After Lu Heng left, the two of them restored their normalcy. After all, the person in front of them was the former God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now the royal family member, King Wu Ningyuan of Huainan. Even if the two of them were chatting happily, they could not get into trouble.
Etiquette of respect and humility.
For Wu Ningyuan, Zhang Wenshan and Lu Heng were enough friends who could be equal to him. Any more, and they would no longer be friends. The royal majesty still needed to be maintained, although the emperor was quite suspicious of him.
That's helpless. You can't ignore the royal majesty just because the emperor is jealous.
In his heart, Hong Quan was even more surprised and curious about the relationship between Lu Heng and Wu Ningyuan.
Wu Ningyuan wiped away the smile on his face, picked up the tea cup, glanced at Hong Quan, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hong, does he know who is behind what happened in Jiangning recently, including the downfall of the Su family and the murder of the Liu family?"
When Hong Quan heard the prince talking about this, he was also shocked. He looked around vigilantly and found that the bamboo forest was densely guarded and heavily guarded. Then he calmed down a little and said in a low voice: "I heard that this is Zuopushe today.
An Peng’s handiwork!”
Wu Ningyuan glanced at him, but shook his head and said: "You only know one but not the other. Yes, Su Guangyi died mysteriously and the Liu family was wiped out overnight. It was indeed An Peng who did it. But, did you know?
From the initial planning, to the subsequent layout, to the subsequent anger of His Majesty in the capital, to now the sudden rise of Jiangning. Who is controlling all this behind the scenes?"
To be honest, Hong Quan really didn't expect that there was someone behind the scenes. Moreover, looking at Prince Ning's expression, this person should be acquainted with Prince Ning. Hong Quan thought about it, but he never thought that this person
Who is it? In the end, he could only clasp his fists and say: "I don't know, please let me know for sure!"
Wu Ningyuan glanced at him indifferently, pointed to the chair beside him and said: "Sit down and talk. There is no need to be so polite between you and me!"
Fatty Hong shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't dare!"
"I told you to sit down, you are so stained! You are so fat, standing here, even blocking the sunlight. I am so cold!" Wu Ningyuan kicked his eyes and cursed angrily.
Well, Fatty Hong raised his head and took a look. Sure enough, Prince Ning was sitting in the large area of shade behind him. An awkward smile appeared on Fatty's face, so he had to lift up his robe and sit down.
Come down.
However, even though I was seated, I still felt a little aggrieved.
Can't you be gentler to me? Just like you did to Mr. Lu just now!
Hong Quan secretly raised his head and glanced at Wu Ningyuan with resentment in his eyes.
