Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Qingyun lightly, and Luezhou Er said: "Since the other party has caught the second young master, if it is for love, he will not embarrass the second young master. At most, he will be a little wronged; if

If it’s not because of love, then you have to be careful here, it means that the other party has back-ups. So don’t panic and see if the other party has other methods.”

"Xuan Ling is right." Du Ruhui nodded and said: "The lower official thought that this move was a great one for the latter, and he could catch the second young master without even being noticed by the Jin Yiwei. From this, it can be seen that the identity of the person behind the scenes is absolutely

It’s not simple. The strength of my subordinates is far beyond our guess. Those who can do it so seamlessly must be those wealthy families. Our goal is not as good as this. Manager Lu, first, send someone to monitor the city of Chang’an.

The major aristocratic families, such as the Wei family, the Li family, the Pei family, the Dugu family, the Yuwen family, etc., to see if there is any change in them; secondly, the city gates in Chang'an are also the objects of attention, in order to prevent these people from attacking the second son.

If it's shipped out of Chang'an City, if that's the case, I'm afraid it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the Second Young Master."

"Okay, good little guy, let's go now." Lu Qingyun nodded repeatedly and quickly retreated. He ordered the Jin Yiwei men to spread their fishing nets to search for news about Lu Zhaobing.

"I'm afraid this is just an introduction. There may be more stories behind this." Changsun Wuji said with a sneer on his face: "His Royal Highness has left the capital, and these people must be unbearable and want to take action.

"

"After all, everything comes from the palace. We can send people to take more precautions against the two people in the palace." Since Master Cui Ren entered Xuande Palace today, he always felt that Ben Wenwen looked at him in a strange way, and he was very surprised.

But after all, I didn't dare to ask, but at this time, it was hard not to speak.

"The two people in the palace are not worried, because they have no soldiers or power. Even if they can't get out of the palace, their role is still relatively small. I am worried about the aristocratic families in Chang'an City. These people have been around for a long time.

It is deeply rooted in Chang'an City, and there are many private soldiers of the family. If they gather together, they will probably be a very powerful force. If a rebellion breaks out, it will be difficult to suppress it with the help of Zuo Langwei's army and Yulin army." Feng Deyi said tremblingly.

said.

"What Mr. Feng said is true." Juwen said with a hint of respect on his face.

"Then let them hand over all the private soldiers in their hands." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "The aristocratic families in Chang'an City don't have a thousand, at least there are five hundred. As long as a family has a hundred private soldiers, it is quite terrifying.

The number, not to mention those big aristocratic families, cannot be guessed. These private soldiers staying in Chang'an City will definitely be a disaster. If they break out, we may not be able to resist them."

"That's right." Fang Xuanling stood up and said coldly: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Your Highness will leave the political affairs to us. If we can't even protect Chang'an City, we will face Your Highness in the future."

"I'm afraid this matter will cause a backlash from those aristocratic families!" Cui Renshi said cautiously.

"So what? Just say that these people are used to unify the head coach. When His Highness returns, he will let them go home." Changsun Wuji showed murderous intent on his face and sneered: "If they don't want to hand it over.

, before they are connected together, let’s get rid of some people first and kill the disaster before it happens. My lord, what do you think?”

"This is also a good idea. After collecting these private soldiers, we will hand them over to the care of the Fourth Young Master, and nothing will happen to them." I thought for a while and said, "I will go to Webster right away. Lao Xiao

The old master went to the Pei family, and the old master Feng went to the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan. The other big and small families took the trouble to take Qin Yong to lead the troops to persuade him! He Panren was ordered to guard the palace tightly. No one can enter or leave the palace without my order. Even the current emperor does this

Same."

"Okay, I'll go now." Xiao Yu thought for a while and nodded. The Xiao family has fifty guards in the capital, but the matter of Lu Zhaoci's brother being captured is very strange, and it cannot be ruled out that it is

The actions of those big families and who has private soldiers at this time are all the objects of suspicion by people like Feng Wen. Although this matter damages the appearance of the family, it is better than having the family wiped out in an unclear way. Look.

Lu Qingyun looked as if his biological father had died. As long as there was someone to suspect, he would probably bite him like a mad dog. After all, Lu Qingyun was different from people like him. He was Lu Zhaoci's retainer.

Lu Zhaobing is also within the scope of his services. Once something happens to this person, Mrs. Lu will not let him go. At that time, even if there is any drastic action, Mrs. Lu will not blame him.

"Master." Inside Pei Ju's house, housekeeper Pei An walked in carefully.

"What's going on?" Pei Ju asked in a deep voice.

"I heard that Xuande Palace just issued an order, ordering the major families in Chang'an City to hand over their private soldiers and participate in the training of Zuo Huwei's army." Pei An said cautiously.

"Did you say anything about the cause of the episode?" Pei Ju stood up suddenly. His eyes flashed, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

"It is said that the second son of the Han Palace has disappeared. It is suspected that he has been arrested." Pei An said in a low voice: "The text went to Wei's house in person. Wei Ting was a bachelor and didn't say a word. He left his house

A thousand private soldiers were handed over. Then Yuwen, Dugu and other aristocratic families all handed over their private soldiers, even the Cui family and the Xiao family did the same, handing over the hundreds of guards."

"Where is Pei Ji?" Pei Ju asked hurriedly.

"It was Xiao Yu who went there. He also brought troops. I think Mrs. Pei had to hand it over." Pei An said again.

"It seems that the other party is not some... Ten evil horned beasts! It seems that Chang'an city cannot stay any longer and has to send him out of the top. Pei Ju waved his hand and said calmly: "You go down first! Prepare the car.

Go to the Zongsheng Palace." He wasn't worried, but he didn't have many private soldiers here, and he wasn't afraid that the other party would come to his door. But the other party messed up his plan, and he had to make a new plan.

The carriage was moving slowly, and Pei Ju was sitting in the carriage. From time to time, he could hear noises in his ears. He could also hear the sound of neat footsteps. He knew it without looking. These must be the defenders of Chang'an City or those from aristocratic families.

The sound of the private soldiers of the wealthy families marching. Feng Wenwen caught all the families in Chang'an City off guard. Even Pei Ju had to admit that Ben Wenwen was indeed very capable, and he struck cruelly and decisively. Those families didn't even react at all, and were killed.

He was forced to hand over his private soldiers, and more importantly, the other party gave a very important reason. Look, even the younger brother of the King of Han has disappeared. The only ones who can do it in Chang'an City are these aristocratic families. If you want

If you don't hand it over, you obviously have something evil in mind. What's more, look, the important officials of the imperial court came to persuade them in person. In this text, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi and others are all famous figures in the world. These people came to persuade in person, and they have already

You have given the other party enough face. If you don't agree anymore, you may be waiting for the Zuo Yaowei army to come.

"If you can't handle it, you need to be prepared." Pei Ju was a cautious person. He knocked on the carriage gently and saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man flashing next to him.

"Pay attention to Lu Zhaoying's movements." Pei Ju's old voice came from the carriage.

"Master, Jia Shengzi has arrived." After a moment, Pei An's voice was heard.

Zongsheng Palace was built specifically for the Lou Guan sect by Li Yuan in order to thank the Lou Guan sect for its huge role in the rise of the army. It is located in the bustling area of ​​Chang'an City, and the Taoist temple built is magnificent. It is also known as the Lou Guan sect.

The Guan Sect's residence outside Zhongnan Mountain. The person living there is Ma Yan, the master disciple of the Lou Guan Sect. He is not only proficient in Taoist classics, but also a master of martial arts, which is why he has reached this position.

"I have met the old gentleman." Ma Yan had already led a group of his disciples outside the palace gate to welcome Pei Ju's arrival. On one side, there were also some dignitaries entering and leaving the Zongsheng Palace. When they saw Pei Ju's arrival, they all also

Salute. After all, although this old guy does not have any official position, he is still a well-known figure in the world.

"Taoist Master Ma, please." Pei Ju also cared about it, so he walked towards the temple and did not stop until he reached the quiet room. Ma Yan ordered his disciples to guard the door, but he and Pei Ju entered the quiet room.

"I miscalculated. Now Feng Wen has ordered all the major families to hand over their private soldiers. It is obviously to prevent these families from causing chaos." Pei Ju shook his head and said: "It seems that my first plan was blocked.

Disrupted, although Taoist temples are beyond the secular world, Lu Qingyun is now looking around like a mad dog. I am afraid that these Taoist temples will be the object of his suspicion soon. It is better to send him to Zhongnan Mountain earlier! Although Jin Yiwei

Amazing. But as long as we leave Chang'an City and add my people, I guess they won't be able to find it so quickly."

"Sir, how is the situation in the Western Regions?" Ma Yan asked suddenly. "Don't worry, my 50,000 horses have already passed Lingzhou. There are still ten days to go, and they will be not far from the capital." Pei Ju said with a smile.

: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the Taoist priest this time."

"What do you want to do?" Ma Yan asked. "In five days, kill Lu Zhaoying. In five days, I am afraid that the news of the appearance of 50,000 troops in the northwest of Chang'an will not be hidden. At that time, Chang'an City will be leaderless, and Chang'an City will definitely fall into the hands of His Majesty.

Yes." A trace of red light appeared on Pei Ju's face.

"Okay, Pindao just agree to it, Sir." Ma Yan thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay. In that case, I'll take my leave first." Pei Ju stood up and said, "At this time, Lu Qingyun's royal guards are searching everywhere. I can't wait here any longer."

"Sir, please." Ma Yan stood up and sent Pei Ju out without stopping him.

Gyeongju, Hongdeok. Night falls.

Cui Li walked around in the office, frowning, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He was a direct descendant of the Cui family, different from Master Cui Ren. He understood what the Cui family meant, so at this time he was in danger.

"Fifty thousand troops outside the city! Fifty thousand troops. Most of them are composed of people from the Western Regions. They have penetrated thousands of miles into the Tang Dynasty without being discovered. This is obviously impossible." Cui Li sighed and shook his head.

: "Li Da'en, the governor of Lingzhou, is a prince of the clan, but he is actually in charge of all affairs in the Western Region. Does it mean that he has no news at all about the arrival of the 50,000-strong army? Or did he do it on purpose?"

"Sir, Lord Yuwen is here." When Cui Li was hesitating, suddenly his servant came to report.

"Master Yuwen? But Master Yuwen Yingfei?" Cui Li asked in surprise.

"It's Lord Yuwen." The Yamen servant didn't dare to neglect.

"I'll personally greet him. I'll go and introduce Mr. Yuwen from the backyard to the study." Cui Li suddenly turned around and said.

It was getting late, but Yuwen Yingfei actually came all night. I'm afraid what he did was not that simple.

"Yes!" The yamen servant did not dare to neglect and quickly led Yuwen Yingfei in through the side door.

In the study, Cui Li finally saw Yuwen Yingfei, his brows furrowed and his face flustered. When he saw Cui Li, he felt as if he was seeing a relative.

"Yuwen, you are not in Qingzhou, why are you here in Xiaguanwen?" Yingfei, the prison girl, took refuge with Lu Zhaoci after the rebellion and was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou.

"Hey, there is no other Qingzhou! Qingzhou has been captured." Yuwen Yingfei showed a wry smile on his face.

"Who is so powerful? How could you lose Qingzhou so quickly?" Cui Li was also surprised.

"Li Dayen, King of Dingxiang, and Pei Ju's two sons, Pei Gongdao and Pei Xuanji, have led an army of 60,000 to capture Qingzhou. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been killed by Li Dayen long ago.

"Yuwen Yingfei cried bitterly: "I didn't expect that Li Dayen, the prince of the clan, would actually rebel. Brother Cui Shi, what should we do?"

"I'm afraid it's not possible to raise an army to rebel." Cui Li said with a sneer on his face: "They are rebelling against His Highness the King of Han. They took advantage of His Highness the King of Han's expedition to rebel. I'm afraid they have planned it for a long time.

Already."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell King Han on Pegasus!" Yuwen Yingfei said nervously.

"Fly to report to the King of Han?" Cui Li also had a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Brother Cui Shi, you don't want to take refuge with Li Yuan!" Seeing this, Yuwen Yingfei couldn't help but asked: "Brother Cui Shi, I'm not a few years older than you. You and I are already His Royal Highness the King of Han.

With the label of His Highness the King of Han, you can't change it even if you want to. What's more, you are a descendant of the Cui family, and the Princess of Han is the cousin of the senior brother. Can the senior brother still change? The interests of the Cui family are all pinned on

His Highness the King of Han! Not anyone else, not Li Yuan, let alone Wang Shichong, Sun Jiande and others."

"Yes, what Master Yuwen said is true. I will send someone to report to His Highness the King of Han and all the adults in the Xuande Hall." Cui Li's eyes lit up, and a look of determination flashed across his face.

"Okay." Yuwen Yingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

,

On Zhuque Street in Chang'an, Lu Zhaoying held a long spear in his hand. Wearing heavy armor, he was walking on the street. The black carved horse under his crotch, the horse's hoof trampled on the bluestone. There were crisp sounds. Around him, more than a hundred people
