The Xiahou clan ordered Lu Xin to lead his army to assist them in searching the mountains for a day and a night. He also mobilized local troops to set up cheques on roads of all sizes and sizes, and even the Taihu Navy was sent to the lake to search.
But it was just a waste of time and I couldn't even find a human hair...
When Lu Xin received the order to withdraw and returned to Bailiuzhuang with his tired subordinates, the masters of the Xiahou clan were gone.
However, when searching the mountains, he had met Xiahou Bubai. The other party actually remembered his small role. What surprised Lu Xin even more was that Xiahou Bubai nodded slightly to him, not knowing what he was selling in the gourd.
‘Oh, I don’t know if Lu Yun has come back safely?’ Lu Xin was really afraid that the boy would be unable to control himself and went to find Xiahou Bubai to take revenge.
Before he knew it, he arrived at the imperial envoy's headquarters. Lu Xin hurriedly put away his chaotic thoughts and went in to report to Xiahou Lei.
Inside the house, Xiahou Bubo was there. He didn't close his eyes for two days. His complexion was very bad and his cough became much heavier.
"Sit." Xiahou Lei was dejected like a defeated rooster. If everything went well this time, no one would pursue what happened on West Lake. But now that he failed, the master of the valley would be furious! After returning, what was waiting for him must be the family law to serve him...
Lu Xindao thanked him and knelt down.
There was a silence in the room, and Xiahou Bupo smiled bitterly and said, "Man is not as good as God is, I didn't expect this situation to be like this." As he said that, he glanced at Lu Xin and said, "I'm not an outsider. To be honest, our Xiahou clan will not be able to wash it even if we jumped into the Yellow River."
Speaking of frustration, Xiahou Bupo was the one who was most hit. He was planning this action by himself. In the original plan, the Xiahou clan got the jade seal and silenced everyone. Even if the emperor had some doubts, he would not have any evidence.
But the two did not expect that Xiahou Bupo's plan was lost. One was that the other party still had a heavenly master hidden! You know, there were countless masters in the world. Xiahou's family determined that the other party had only one Zhou Huang, so they sent two masters and ten masters! It was enough, but who would have thought that Huan Daoji would pop up again!
The second unexpected thing was the Taiping Road! Although there were countless believers from all over the country, the Xiahou clan was already extremely careful in his actions this time, and his actions were very sudden. Even if Sun Yuanlang noticed it at the first time, he would not have time to kill him... Why did they let them get into a strife?!
Now, the jade seal was taken away and the Xiahou family had no choice but to take it away. How can we keep the secret?
Even now, retrieving the jade seal is no longer the top priority, but you must first try to pass the emperor's level, and then communicate with each other to stabilize the situation in the capital!
He was caught without stealing the chicken, and Xiahou Val's face was completely lost!
Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Xiahou Bubo coughed twice, looked at Lu Xin and said, "Brother, are you willing to work with my Xiahou family and get through this moment?"
Xiahou Lei also stared at Lu Xin, and Lu Xin said without changing his face: "Brother Xiahou did you say this? Lu has expressed his feelings for a long time. Could it be that he still doesn't believe it?"
"Okay!" Xiahou Bubo said with admiration: "I asked this too much!" After saying that, he ordered Lu Xin to say seriously: "I'm sorry, I will lead the army to escort the Zhou family and a criminal to the capital. After entering Beijing, someone will definitely ask you about the whole story..."
Lu Xin heard the string song and knew the Yayi, saying, "I will follow the instructions of the imperial envoy, and insist that it is the clue I found!"
"Okay!" Xiahou Bupo and Xiahou Lei focused their heads, and the latter comforted him, "Don't worry, you are from our Xiahou family, no one dares to make things difficult for you!" He paused and said, "After you are finished, you will stay in the capital and don't have to come back!"
Xiahou Bupo nodded, obviously this was all agreed upon...
Lu Xin was full of gratitude and thanked him endlessly.
Xiahou Lei closed his beard and laughed: "The Xiahou family will never treat the heroes unfairly!"
After Lu Xin thanked him for his gratitude, the smile on his uncle and nephew Xiahou's face disappeared.
"I didn't expect that we were so secretive, but we were still targeted by Taipingdao..." Xiahou Lei said with a sad face.
"It's too late to say anything now," Xiahou Bupo said with a wry smile: "Hurry back to Beijing and wait for the depart..."
.
Lu Xin returned to the military camp and as soon as he entered his tent, he saw that Lu Yun had already returned.
Lu Xinlong breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and drank a few glasses of water before he relieved the heat in his chest, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you getting?"
While pouring water for his father, Lu Yun whispered the incident to him, telling him everything. Lu Xin was stunned. He looked at Lu Yun for a while for a while, and sighed, "God's will..." After saying that, he said with concern again: "Will someone find out, right?"
"It shouldn't be." Lu Yun has thought about it repeatedly. No matter how rich his imagination is, he would never have thought that the youngest son of the Wujun County Magistrate could do such a shocking thing.
"That's good." Lu Xin believed in Lu Yun's ability, but he still reminded him with concern: "It must be absolutely confidential and not disclose any of it!"
"I know the importance of it." Lu Yun nodded solemnly.
After thoroughly digesting the shock brought to him by the imperial seal, Lu Xin remembered the serious matter and said to Lu Yun: "You can't go back to Yuhang for your father. Xiahou family ordered me to take the Zhou family to the capital for trial." After a pause, he sighed with a complicated expression: "After you go back, you can prepare for moving so as not to be in a hurry at that time."
"Father..." Lu Yun couldn't speak for a moment. He didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and the first step he planned was realized like this!
"The situation in Beijing is a hundred times more complicated than here..." Lu Xin said with concern: "And if this happens, it may become more and more bizarre. If you return to Beijing at this time, if you make any moves, you will be crushed to pieces if you are not careful." He was deeply touched by the disaster of the Zhou family, and he was inevitably worried about the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.
"I remember," Lu Yunzheng pointed his head and promised Lu Xin: "I will definitely be very cautious."
.
Within a few days, the news of the Bailiuzhuang Incident reached Luojing, the capital of Daxuan.
Luojing, also known as the Dongdu, is the old capital Chang'an, which corresponds to the old capital within the pass. The Daxuan royal family and the seven major clans originated from the pass. After pacifying the world, Emperor Gaozu established the capital in Luojing outside the pass. Naturally, there were many thoughts in this, but the most intuitive advantage is that the construction of Luojing City learned the lessons of Chang'an City. In the design, it no longer emphasized symmetry but focused on functions and fully combined with the terrain, so that this new capital is far superior to the old capital in any aspect.
From Longmen Yique to Shangqing Palace in Mangshan, the central axis of the capital is the imperial city. It is located on the northwest highlands and is magnificent. It overlooks the streets and alleys that are scattered under your feet and can’t see at a glance. It not only looks like the Ziwei Emperor Star, but also has excellent defense capabilities, which discourages many ambitious people who covet the throne.
The imperial city is called Ziwei City, and the palace walls are as high as six meters high. In front of the palace gate, next to the long white marble-paved imperial road, there are precious trees such as pomegranates and cherries. It is spring at this time, and the trees are full of flowers, like two beautiful long brocades, adding a bit of charm to the majestic Ziwei City.
A carriage with black all over was riding on the bluestone road beside the imperial road. An eunuch in the car was dressed as an old man with snow-haired eyebrows, but he had no intention of appreciating the sea of ​​flowers outside the car window. He fell on the futon, holding a fish fillet in one hand, feeding the black cat in his arms, and scratching the cat with itch in the other hand. There was no expression on his face, and there was a bone-broken chill in his dim eyes!
There was also a man in the car, wearing a unique black official robe and a black straight-brimmed cone hat, which was the unique outfit of the Daxuan Jishi Mansion. This man's hat was inserted into a golden feather, indicating his identity as the admiral of Jishi Mansion!
The Admiral Lin Chao of the Imperial Affairs Office, commanded eight thousand hawks and dogs in the imperial court, monitored the world, investigated and investigated the plot, looked at the wolf, and the fierce flames were rising! You can even bypass the judicial department and directly arrested middle and lower-level officials!
But at this moment, Admiral Lin, who could stop the child from crying at night, knelt at the feet of the old eunuch, and reported carefully: "I deserve to die for the crime of humble duty, but I actually let the Xiahou family hide it so much!"
Because the old eunuch is Zuo Yanqing, the former chief supervisor of Emperor Gaozu, the founder of Jishifu, and the peerless master who was promoted to the heavenly rank with a broken body! Even though the emperor has changed three terms and he has retreated behind the scenes, he is still deeply trusted by the First Emperor and still firmly controls Jishifu, which shocks the emperor to the seven major clans!
"You really deserve to die!" Old Eunuch Zuo snorted coldly. The black cat in his arms opened his green eyes and stared at Admiral Lin. He was so scared that he sweated coldly and quickly kowtowed like pounding garlic, expressing his willingness to accept any punishment.
At this time, the carriage slowly drove to the left-hand gate, and the old eunuch approached his hand and picked up the curtain. When the guards outside saw him, they hurriedly saluted respectfully and made way out!
Zuo Yanqing put down the curtain of the car and said to Admiral Lin: "It would be fine if Xiahou Lei deceived him, but why can't even Xiahou be defeated? Xiahou will not be able to find out if he does not destroy the capital? Can the Jishifu be worthy of the emperor's kindness?"
"Beizhi has already put all the people who have dereliction of duty and are waiting for punishment with Beizhi!" Admiral Lin said with shame: "So many people stared at the Xiahou clan, but they were hiding the truth, so they could not argue!"
"The Jishifu House will not raise waste, all of them will be executed." Zuo Yanqing stroked the black cat on his knee and glanced at the trembling Admiral Lin and said, "As for you, I have seen the emperor go to receive two hundred court sticks and demoted to the seventh-rank Jishifu..." After a pause, the old eunuch sighed and said, "Take Jishifu House temporarily to observe the future effect."
"Thank you for your ancestors' maintenance. You must be punished and meritorious in a humble position!" Admiral Lin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his opinion.
